Oral Presentations
Oral presentations are scheduled for 15-minute time slots. A maximum of 14-minutes is allotted to each presentation, plus 1-minute for transitions between speakers. Time limits will be enforced by a session moderator, who will signal when each speaker is approaching their time limit.
Questions will be held until a group panel discussion, which will follow each series of approximately six presentations. Each panel will be 30-minutes and feature an extended Q&A and discussion with presenters.
Lightning Presentations
Lightning presentations consist of three slides and limited to five minutes maximum. Time limits will be enforced by a session moderator, who will signal when each speaker is approaching their time limit. A Q&A with all lightning presenters will follow the presentations.
